After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 366: Make Bollywood feel ashamed

"What happened in the United States? What happened? The president stepped down? A major attack happened again, or are they preparing to start a war again."

"Forehead"

Guo Yongwen looked speechless. What Chen Tianhong said was related to other people's politics, so where did he know where to go?

"No, Mr. Chen, the copyright negotiations on the broadcast of our "Ninth District" in the United States were not very smooth. Their purchasing intention was not very high. Most of the willing ones wanted to buy out the copyright at one time. They were willing to share the box office with us, and there were many requirements. At present, there were only two distribution companies who were willing to share according to our share, but the theater resources they could use were limited."

The bad news in Guo Yongwen's mouth is also a common phenomenon at present, because compared with Western science fiction blockbusters, domestic science fiction movies are much worse in terms of reputation and the quality of the film itself.

This has led to few foreign film and television publishers willing to purchase the copyright of domestic science fiction movies.

It is already very good for film and television distribution companies like "The Ninth District" to be willing to buy it, but most of it is because of Hongwen's fame, but fame is not omnipotent. After all, foreigners now recognize Chen Tianhong as a writer, not a screenwriter.

"Only two companies! So uncompetitive!"

Chen Tianhong was also surprised. He thought that American film and television distribution companies would compete to bid.

Guo Yongwen blushed when he heard this. He was the person in charge and had not done the things he had given was done well. Even if there were objective reasons, the responsibility could not be eliminated.

"Mr. Chen, we have reorganized our team and planned to fly to the United States tomorrow to negotiate in the local area."

"The New Year is coming soon, why are you flying to America? Just find those two."

"But."

"It's nothing, but it's too late for you to go back and forth. I want "The Ninth District" to be released in the United States as soon as possible. You can talk about it slowly in other countries. Lao Guo, don't worry, it's their loss to cooperate differently. Let's do it. Just do it, and finalize the box office share contract as soon as possible."

Chen Tianhong directly set the tone.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll do it right away."

Guo Yongwen agreed. Chen Tianhong is not only the screenwriter of "The Ninth District", but also the second boss of Yajue Company, so he still has this right.

He just didn't understand why Mr. Chen was so anxious to let "The Ninth District" be released in the United States.

The reason is actually very simple. In another month, the presidential election in the United States will begin. I don’t know who will win at that time. Chen Tianhong wants to give Besley a connotation before the change of leadership.

As for whether the resources and screening volume of theaters will be affected, Chen Tianhong is not worried at all.

Because when "The Ninth District" was released in his previous life, it was also not favored by the industry, but in the end it counterattacked and became the box office number one in the same period, and won the Academy Award and won numerous awards.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianhong did not continue to sleep. He took the laptop next to him, turned on the computer and logged in to the email address, edited an email and sent it to Besley.

"Hello, Mr. President, I have seen the prequel about "The Three-Body Problem" and I'm still waiting. I'm busy with the release of the science fiction movie "The Ninth District" in your country recently."

Chen Tianhong has two purposes for replying to the email, one is etiquette, and the other is to suggest that Besley is following the movie, otherwise the effect will not be achieved.

At this time, it was drizzling in Kyoto, and the stars on the other side of the United States were dotted.

White House, the official residence of the President of the United States.

Recently, Besley has been very busy. In addition to handling the president's daily work, he also has to prepare for the election in a month.

After rubbing his eyes, sootheing the soreness, he picked up the coffee beside him and took a big sip. Besley re-energized his spirit and planned to look at the manuscript for tomorrow's speech canvassing.

At this time, a new email message reminder was received in his private email. He opened it curiously and found that it was just sent by Hongwen.

"Science fiction movie? "The Ninth District"? Will it be released here?"

The amount of information revealed in just a few dozen words in the email was quite large. Besley was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized that he really didn't know that Chen Tianhong was writing scripts and investing in filming, but he was quite interested.

"The Ninth District... Why do you feel that the name of this movie is a bit familiar? The Ninth District, Ninth, Ninth, Ninth, Ninth Eighty-one"

I watched the movie name several times and did a math problem. Besley lived in Bengbu.

Even though he didn't know the plot outline of "The Ninth District", he knew that the name of the movie was definitely not simple, and it was very likely to be alluding to something.

However, Besley didn't think about himself, because he thought in his heart that he had a good relationship with Hongwen, not just a relationship between book fans and authors, but a friend!

In Chinese, it is called forgetting friends.

So, this is how Besley's email was replied next.

"Mr. Hongwen, do you need my help?"

The reply was: "Thank you, Mr. President. If it is convenient, just go to the theater to support me!"

It is obvious that Chen Tianhong is not willing to owe Besley a favor.

"Well, let me see the time. Mr. Hongwen, I still hope you can write the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible."

There are no new email reminders for one minute, two minutes, five minutes, and ten minutes.

"Well, Hongwen may have already written it."

Besley comforted himself in his heart.

This is the helplessness in the relationship between fans and authors. Sometimes, no matter how high your status is and how much money you give, as long as the author is unwilling to write, there is really no good idea.

It took dozens of minutes to memorize the speech and read it, and it was exactly 10:10.

He picked up the phone and called his secretary Delis. In addition to explaining the schedule of the day, he also asked her to pay attention to the release of "The Ninth District" in the near future.

Chen Tianhong here has fallen into a deep sleep again. He had no plans to start writing before the New Year, and he didn't want to write any book, so he wanted to be a young man in the new century.

In the next week, he accompanied his family and Yifei throughout the whole process, enjoying the beauty of life.

During this period, the release of "The Ninth District" in the United States was finally finalized. In fact, the contract was signed on the day Guo Yongwen called.

The censorship of the movie took two days, but fortunately, some of the critical content in the movie did not specify which country, and the 81st District of the connotation did not specifically state any military secrets, so it was not deleted.

Then there is the promotional work. The film and television publisher also borrowed Hongwen's reputation for this and released the gimmicks of "The Ninth District" and "The Three-Body Problem" as a series, which really attracted the attention of many fans of "The Three-Body Problem".

The official release date is also set, it is the second day of the Chinese New Year in China. However, a premiere will be held on the night of the first day of the Chinese New Year. The premiere invites some entertainment stars, directors, and celebrities from the local art world to watch.

Unfortunately, there are not many celebrities who have been confirmed to be here by accepting the invitation. This is because buying the "Ninth District" film and television distribution company does not have enough energy in the industry.

However, as the premiere date approaches, the film and television distribution company suddenly broke out a sensational news that American President Besley and his family will be present to watch the premiere at that time!

Not only those who received the invitation, but even those celebrities who did not receive the invitation said they would be there at that time.

In addition, the ambassador of China's United States will also be present to support it as a private person. The news has spread to China. Li Maocai, general manager of Yaju Film and Television, and Guo Yongwen, who was promoted to deputy manager, urgently organized a delegation and directly chartered the plane to the United States.

I have to pay attention! Not to mention that Besley is still in the position of president, who dares to say that the next presidential election will not be re-elected?

For this reason, Miao Mingjie, the director behind Yajue Film and Television, also called Chen Tianhong and asked him if he wanted to go over. After all, Besley was present to support him, which must be for Chen Tianhong's face.

Chen Tianhong was also very surprised when he learned the news. He sent an email to ask Besley to pay attention to "The Ninth District" and had time to go to the theater to support him, but this was a polite statement. How could a president of a country have time to come to watch a movie!

At the same time, he was a little embarrassed. With such strong support, he would suggest that he would be impolite.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tianhong rejected Miao Mingjie's proposal, but he thought of a way to compensate, and wrote the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem" during the holidays.

Time soon came to the first day of the Lunar New Year. The premiere of "The Ninth District" is no less lively than the Spring Festival in China, and it is not even as good as the annual awards ceremony in Bollywood not long ago.

The guests present are really too expensive. In comparison, the stars in the entertainment industry are nothing.

The one who can talk to President Besley in the circle is the famous Bollywood director Bobaka Williams. The films he has filmed have won the Bollywood International Film of the Year many times, and can be called the national treasure of the American entertainment industry.

But he could only sit behind Besley. In addition to his wife and daughter, the ambassador of China, Tian Family Chuan, and behind Tian Family Chuan were Li Maocai and Guo Yongwen.

"Mr. Li, I have to congratulate you! I heard that the box office of "The Ninth District" in China has exceeded 5 billion, and "The Ninth District" has become a new milestone in domestic science fiction films!"

"Thank you Ambassador Tian, ​​this is inseparable from the efforts of all the crew members of "The Ninth District". Of course, the most important thing is that we, Mr. Chen, have not achieved this achievement without the script he wrote."

Li Maocai spoke very humbly, and he wisely pushed the credit to Chen Tianhong.

"Hongwen is an excellent young man. I really want to meet him if I have the opportunity!"

Speaking of Chen Tianhong, Tian Jiachuan's eyebrows were raised.

Since Besley became obsessed with "The Three-Body Problem", the diplomatic work of Tian Jiachuan has been easier to do.

"Haha, Mr. Ambassador, I want to see him too. Ask him when the prequel of "The Three-Body Problem" will be finished. I've been waiting for a long time."

Besley joined the chat with a smile.

"Mr. President, I heard Mr. Chen say that before coming, and I will start writing soon. I expect it to be written at the end of the holiday."

Li Maocai shared the news he received with Besley, and his actions were far behind.

"Oh, yes, it's good news, so I'll wait and see. Haha, Mr. Li, why don't you tell me about the plot of "The Ninth District"?"

Besley was very happy to get the news, and he became more interested in "The Ninth District".

"Dad, I don't want to listen to spoilers, it's not good to spoilers!"

Besley's daughter pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, okay, no spoilers, no spoilers."

Besley spoiled his daughter very much and was a perfect daughter slave.

This time he came to the premiere. In addition to being curious, he also wanted to accompany his family.

In fact, I didn’t wait too long. The premiere began soon, and then the vicissitudes of male monologue sounded, leading everyone present to the deep starry sky.

Because Chen Tianhong was preparing to show it abroad when he was writing the script, he made an international version separately during the later dubbing, and there was another sentence in the international version's monologue.

"Humans may have discovered alien life forms, but they have been deliberately hidden."

Then the huge "Ninth District" adds English words to the screen and then the main film begins.

This monologue caused whispers at the scene, and many people subconsciously looked at Besley's position.

Everyone is not stupid, no one can play digital games!

But this sentence makes sense!

The mysterious 81 area of ​​our country is likely to hide the secret of aliens, that is, the "hapless" government has never positively admitted it.

Besley felt the suspicious eyes from the people around him, and even his family was included.

"Haha, it seems that it is really alluding to District 81! It is alluding to the government, and I am currently in power. Could it be that he is also connoting me?"

At this moment, Besley muttered in her heart, and was soon attracted by the video on the screen.

Two hours passed quickly, and the movie was already screened before many people had finished their popcorn and drinks.

Like in China, no one present left the scene. They began to communicate, exchange the content of the video and its ideological connotation.

"Dad, why do humans treat shrimp people like that? Businessmen, why are politicians so bad? Will Kach come back in three years?"

Besley's daughter opened the soul question. She was born late and is now in junior high school. She often speaks a little unrestrainedly.

"Nisha, the way humans treat shrimp people in the film is definitely wrong. Businessmen and politicians are not bad. Human nature is complicated. When you grow up, you will understand this problem."

Besley explained this way, and he didn't want to extend the topic, and the current occasion was not suitable for preaching with his daughter.

In fact, as a politician and the president of a big country, he saw much darker side than the allusions in the film.

"As for the third question, I don't know the answer. Mr. Li, you should know, right?"

"Mr. President, please be honest. Mr. Chen has not written the script of the second part, so I really don't know."

If it were someone else, Li Mao would give a positive answer, but the other side was the president! Then we can only tell the truth.

"That's it! Nisha, wait for me to go back and send an email to ask Mr. Hongwen."

Besley touched his daughter's head, but the light in his eyes saw Williams still staring at the big screen in a daze.

"Haha, Mr. Williams, why don't you say a word? What do you think of this "Ninth District"? Williams?"

After shouting twice in a row, Williams came to his senses. He looked complicated when he heard the president's inquiry. After thinking about it, he brewed and brewed, and finally spoke slowly.

"Mr. President, this is a movie with a high mindset, a fable about life that makes the end of the annual awards ceremony not long ago a joke, and it makes the whole of Bollywood feel ashamed!"
